THE WILD MAN OF OHIO.
n Curious Creature Seen Among the Hills
of Holmes County.

A party of hunters, who have Just
returned from a hunt in the hills of
Holmes County, Ohio, say they encoun-
tered a curious creature on their trip.
According to their description. wild
man, or some other strange being, is at
large in Holmes County. The party
who report seeing this strange creature
claim u q he or it looked like a man,
but acted like wild beast. The crea-
ture was encountered near 4 bruShy
thicket and willow copse near what is
known as Big Spring, where General
Buell. rested on his march through Ohio,
at point short distance south of
the Wayne County line in Holmes
County. The hunters were beating the
brush for pheasants when the attention
of one of the party was attracted to an
object that suddenly darted across an
opening in the brush. Later on the
object was again seen along the edge of
the brush. BY this time the hunters
had reached open ground, and were
surprised to see what they describe as
a man, entirely nude but covered with
what appeared to them to be matted
hair. When seen he was some distance
away but OH discovering the hunters
he started toward them on a run, and
gave forth queer cultural sounds. On
seeing the strange being moving
toward them the party of hunters,
which included four persons. all armed
with shot guns, broke and ram The
strange creature pursued them for
short distance until the party had
reached a public highway, When he
turned back and was seen to enter
Killbuck Creek, which he swan, and
then disappeared in the BRUSH again.
On approaching the water he dropped
on all tours and plunged in like a dog,
swimming in manner similar to a
canine. The hun "rS did not save the
nerve to return. but rot away from the
place as soon as possible. They are
emphatic in their assertion that they
encountered a wild man and describe
him as above, but they are Of The i'm
preston that he is no relative of the
famous wild man of Rocl1away.

Decayed teeth have been known to
exert an injurious effect on the eye
sight, but recent case in Sweden
illustrates this reflex action in an I'M
usually striking manner. The patient
was yOun- glrl Uind in the right eye,
although the surgeon, DR.. Widmark,
was unable to detect the slightest
pathological change in the organ.
Observing, however. considerable de-
tectS in the teeth. he sent her to M.
SkogSborg. dental surgeon. who found
that all the upper and lower molars
were completely ,iectyed and that in
many of them th roots were intlamed.
He extracted the remains OF The molars
on che right side. and in four days
time the sigh, o. the right eye began
to return. ana on the eleventh day
after the extraction of the teeth it had
become quite normal. The deceased
fangs on the other side were subse-
quently removed, lest they should cause
a return of til, .'''h III :" affection.

Sam jones' Daughters.

In speaking of parental duty Mr..

you what it is, don care how badly |

not push them out in certain circles of
society. If you have a boy that wants
a wife, and knew a girl just like your
daughter in every way, would you want
your son to marry her-a dancing,

Cure for Writer'S Cramp.

Writer'S cramp is an affection which,
until very recent date has been looked
upon as in most cases incurable. For
tunately, however, for those who suffer
from this disease, means are now
known to exist not only for it's ameli-
Grafton, but for its permanent cure.
The difficulty is one which is not, as
its name implies, confined to writer's.
1t may occur in any individual whose
occupation brings into constant play
one set of muscles; thus the pianist, the
telegrapher and the ballet-dancer NAV
suffer from these cramps or from an
inability to perform the acts peculiar
to his occupation. The cramps are
merely symptoms of a diseased condi-
ton, the exact seat of which is q mat
ter of dispute; some locating it in the
brain, others in the spinal cord. while
there are those who regard the nerve
centres as in no wise affected but trace
the source of the affection to the nerves
themselves. The method of treatment
which has been found most successful
consists in the application of gymnas.
tics, combined with massage. to the
affected muscles. The rubbing, and
sometimes a gentle striking of the
muscles with wooden bar, together
with regular movements of the fingers
or other defective part, are continued
for several weeks, during which time
not more than one hour daily is devoted
these exercises.

FOR Their Personal Comfort,

Paris is trying an experiment which
has long ago been found To answer in

Your clothes hrllshnd, your boots cleaned.
You can write your letters. Paper,
pens, ink, etc, are ut your disposal.
In one room are all the newspapers,
not merely of Paris and the Provinces.
but of all the great Continental CAPT
tolls. A third room is devoted to works
of reference, encyclopedias, dictionar-
phone and a post office, and all this is
open to any pass -r-by who pays half-a-
franc admission. The Italian idea did

it was more useful. 1t was not pr

NIGH, rishing in the Monterey Bay.

The fascination of bright light for
fish is stated to have been first dis
covered by whalers, who noticed that
the fish fairly SWarmed wherever the
glare fell from their trypot furnaces.
The Monterey fishermen nave reduced
the system to a nicely, and the way in
which their nets swarm when beached
is ample evidence of their success.
When the Turing is done on a large
scale it requires half dozen boats, and
the sight at night is full of interest.
All but two or three of the boats are
fitted with metal basket at stern or
bow, and in this brilliant fire of pine
knots or oil-saturated wicking is
kindled and kept burning by constant
replenlshing from a stock of fuel car
ried in the boats. The fire is started
when the crafts are half mile off
shore and they are slowly pulled into
the beach, three or four pretty close
together and on even terms. Behind
the tlaring lights and extending a con-
siderable distance on either side of
them is deep net, dragged by boat
at either end and belied out until it
forms almost half-circle. of which the
lighted boats are the center. Around
the latter all the fish within sight seem
to gather, bent on investigating the
strange brightness, and their curiosity
keeps them about the lights until the
boats are beached and the two extremes
of the net reach the shore. Then the
united force haul in the richly irelghted

The Advantages of Reserve.

Nothing is so unnatural or so full of
danger as The habit of easy anu .'amil-
lar companionship with people who
of what is called society,"" conditions
which imply mutual complaisance up
to a certain point very easily reached,
conventional ease of manner, courteous
frankness of speech which need not be
very deep superficial mutual intelli-
gence which seldom knows how far it
penetrateS-though it enjoys the evil
dence of having penetrated further
than was expected-and alacrity in
discerning and complying with the
wishes of others. The danger consists
in the facility with which companion
ship of this kind is mistaken for true
intimacy. though it does not really
ln''!y anything approaching to it. A
woman will sometimes marry a man
OF whom she knows nothing at all ex-
cept that she has found it pleasant to
be battered and admired by him during
q companionship of this superficial
kind. In other words. she will trust
her life to the keeping of man of
whose aims of whose standard of right
and wrong, of whose power and habit
Of living up to that standard she knows
just as much and just as little as she does
Of the actors, whom she has seen on the
stage, though she is deceived into think
ing that she knows more, only because
she happens in this case to have been
one of the actors, and not merely a
passive spectator. Society is, indeed. a
sort of expedient for rubbing off the
natural and wholesome reserves which
keep people from trusting each other
till they have had real experience of
what each is made of-till they have
seen what are the objects of reverence,
what is the depth of reverence; what
is the force of practical fidelity to the
higher aims that determine the true
character working behind the familiar
forms and faces of so-ralled society.
The surface of the sea on calm and
sunny day is as little of an index to the
dangers which the sea may cause, as
the familiar manner Of mere society to
the deeper influences which those who
mingle in that society can exert. 1t
would be as wise to drink the deadly
juices of the belladonna because of the
beauty of the night-shade's nowers, as
to welcome intimacy with many of
those whose manners in general society
are faultless and fascinating, without
knowing anything OF them beyond
those manners.

CATARRH TO CONSUMPTION

Catarrh in its destructive force stands next
to and undoubtedly leads on to consumption
1t is therefore singular that those afflicted
with this fearful disease should not make it
the object of their lives to rid themselves of
it. Deceptive remedies concocted by ignor-
ant pretenders TO medical knowledge have
weakened the confidence of the great major
ity of sufferers in all advertised remedies.
They become resigned to life of misery
rather than torture themselves with doubt
full paliatiyes.
But this will never do. Catarrh must be
met at every stage and combated with all
our might. In many cases the disease has as
sumed dangerous symptoms. The bones
and cartilage of the nose, the organs of hear
ing, of smelling and of tasting so affected as
to be useless, the uvula SO elongated, the
throat so infiamed and irritated as to pro-
duce constant and distressing cough.
SANFoRD's RADICAL CURE meets every
phase of Catarrh from simple head cold to
the most loathsome and destructive stages.
II is local and constitutional Instant in re-
lieying, permanent i'll curing, safe, econom-
zeal and never-failing.
Each package contains one bottle of the
RADICAL CURE, one box CATARRHAL SOLVENT,
